DHL, the world’s leading logistics company, has launched a “Stop for Safety” campaign from July 15-31 in Asia Pacific. Led by DHL Supply Chain, the campaign reaches out to 20,000 employees across 700 sites in 16 countries and is designed to drive awareness on occupational health and safety across its extensive network of offices, warehouses and transport distribution in Asia Pacific. Promoting the message ‘Safety is Everyone’s Responsibility’ DHL Supply Chain will conduct workshops for staff to reiterate the importance of safety and health standards at the work place.
“A major thrust of ‘Stop for Safety’ campaign is to encourage every employee to review safety steps and take responsibility, both for themselves and their colleagues. Our people are our greatest asset and it is therefore important to continue investing in training, safety equipment and awareness campaigns for our employees,” said Paul Graham, Chief Executive Officer, DHL Supply Chain Asia Pacific.
